actually no I was speaking about waaaaay back when you were a mod, @Spooky was a mod, and even @Genesis was a mod. Back to a time when people didn't stop your bullshit.

Oh and wait, it s bad to make sure that a mod has a well-grounded reason before banning them? It's bad to keep mods from banning out of anger or for pleasure? Those aren't things that result in a more balanced moderation system, one unlike a authoritarian circlejerk like the BakaBT forums are?

Note, however, that the image is just to illustrate the point that Kirn had not responded to any points I had brought up.

I do reiterate my point that he is in no way, shape, or form qualified to pass judgement upon the users, the community, or how it operates. If he was admin, he would be. If he didn't ban for personal pleasure outside the scope of the rules when admins told him to do otherwise. he may be a moderator and may be qualified. But hey, he isn't. WELP.

Three Reasons Why Possession of Child Pornography Must Be Re-Legalized in the Coming Decade

Summary, taken from the article itself:

This article argues that our current laws on the topic are counterproductive, because they protect child molesters instead of bringing them to justice, they criminalize a generation of normally-behaving teenagers which diverts valuable police resources from the criminals we should be going after, and they lead to censorship and electronic book burning as well as unacceptable collateral damage to innocent families. Child abuse as such is not condoned by anybody, and this article argues that current laws are counterproductive in preventing and prosecuting it.

This is a really well thought-out article, arguing for something that we normally just toss aside with thoughts of "oh god ew no". Give it a read, and tell us what your thoughts are.
